不要評判中國 除非你批評西方的吃肉行爲

Every year pictures from Yulin dog meat festival circulate online with horrified reactions on social media calling for the barbaric practice to end. Earlier this month celebrities MPs and campaigners supported a petition to stop the festival at the Chinese Embassy in London.

每年，令人戰慄的玉林狗肉節的圖片都會成爲網上關注的焦點，激起公共媒體對結束這種殘忍的行爲的呼籲。本月的早些時候，社會名流、國會議員和活動者們向倫敦的中國大使館遞交申請，以阻止這個節日。

As this year's festival begins in the Chinese city it's worth pointing out that the responses from manycondemning the practice are extremely hypocritical. Though the pictures appal me too it is quite ridiculous how much attention this shameful festival gets from Western media. Unless the UK becomes a completely vegetarian country and stops rearing animals for their flesh most people don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to complaining about a meat-eating festival.

隨着今年的節日開始，應當指出的是，響應對這個節日的指責是虛僞的。儘管圖片讓我心驚膽戰，但是讓這個令人羞恥的節日獲得西方媒體如此多關注，十分荒謬。除非英國成爲一個完全的素食國家，停止飼養動物當做食品。否則，許多人對這個節日批評是站不住腳。

It is not as if all 1.4 billion Chinese people go around eating dog meat during this festival as many would have you believe. Labelling it as China's annual dog meat festival is incorrect and means that the whole of the country's population comes under scrutiny. So to clear things up: the majority of Chinese people do not eat dog and there is an ever-growing movement against the festival.

不是全部14億中國人都去這個節日上吃狗肉，這個是你應該相信的。把它貼上中國狗肉節的標籤並不正確，這意味着將這個國家全部人放在審查下。因此，應該澄清一些事情：大多數中國人不吃狗，甚至有越來越多的抵制狗肉節的運動。
